In early America livestock were raised near consumption but population growth shifted farming centers. Two thirds of people live east of the Mississippi while two thirds of livestock are produced west of it, creating a 1000 mile distribution challenge.

The aim is to expand meat consumption and supply through an efficient national distribution system.
